Eng. Chanaka De Silva – Project Engineer, JLanka Technologies said, “The client particularly wished to install the Solar PV System without causing any damages to the roof. This was a challenge at the design stage but we succeeded in finding a creative solution to meet the client’s requirement. We imported a ‘Klip-Lok Metal Sheet Clamp’, a product designed specifically to install a solar railing to the rooftop without drilling.”
“This simple yet ingenious clamp design proved to be cost-effective, customizable and offered flexibility during the installation process. In addition, our design team ensured that the public, who will be the ultimate owners and beneficiaries of the Multimodal Centre would be able to enjoy absolute safety and convenience, once the project was complete.”
“Over the years, we’ve spearheaded numerous small, mid-sized and large-scale solar power generating projects for various entities across the nation. Our extensive experience in managing and executing a large number of projects helped us to match our technical guidance to our client’s requirements and navigate challenges effectively,” said Sajith Batagoda – Assistant Marketing Manager, JLanka Technologies.
